HA: observed dataloss in replication stress test
------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2742
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2742
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: data-node, ha, name-node
Affects Versions: HA branch (HDFS-1623)
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Assignee: Todd Lipcon
Priority: Blocker
Attachments: log-colorized.txt
The replication stress test case failed over the weekend since one of the
replicas went missing. Still diagnosing the issue, but it seems like the chain
of events was something like:
- a block report was generated on one of the nodes while the block was being
written - thus the block report listed the block as RBW
- when the standby replayed this queued message, it was replayed after the file
was marked complete. Thus it marked this replica as corrupt
- it asked the DN holding the corrupt replica to delete it. And, I think,
removed it from the block map at this time.
- That DN then did another block report before receiving the deletion. This
caused it to be re-added to the block map, since it was "FINALIZED" now.
- Replication was lowered on the file, and it counted the above replica as
non-corrupt, and asked for the other replicas to be deleted.
- All replicas were lost.
